We ’ ve tried a lot of swim shorts, but these chubbies boys ’ swim shorts with the built- in shorts are total game changer. My son loves how comfortable they are no more chafing, bunching or adjusting during play. The legging insert gives him extra coverage and makes him feel confident in and out of the water. They fit true to size, dry quickly, and hold up well after lots of swimming and rough play. He calls them his “ superhero shorts ” and honestly refuses to wear anything else in the pool now. Highly recommend, especially for active kids or anyone who wants extra comfort and coverage

[ I live in the south where it is hot most of the time, so these shorts are the best. The fit is just right, and I am a larger man, 44 '' waste, and the looks are very good, i even wear them for some semi- formal occasions. I like them so much that i eventually purchased 2 more pair. You will really enjoy these. Watch the fit, and make sure you order you size.

[ Columbia Sportswear ’s water shorts offer a solid balance of comfort, durability, and style, but they ’ re not without a few minor drawbacks. The material feels lightweight and dries quickly, making them great for both swimming and casual beachwear. The bright blue color is vibrant and eye- catching, perfect for summer outings. The fit is generally comfortable, with an adjustable waistband that provides a secure feel without being too tight. The length is just right — neither too short nor too long — offering good mobility for swimming or outdoor activities. Additionally, the pockets are a nice touch, and can easily fit wallet, keys, smart phone, etc. One downside is that the mesh liner might not be the most comfortable for everyone, especially after extended wear. I also find that the fabric, while durable, lacks the stretchiness of more performance- oriented swimwear. Overall, these swim trunks are a solid choice for casual swimmers and outdoor enthusiasts who want a stylish and practical option.

Great swimsuit for our little one, such a fun colorway. It has an elastic waist but a drawstring also, he really loves the pockets like big kids and it has a fully lined interior which seems more comfortable then the other brief style

These are such a great color for swim wear! Now my husband wants a matching pair. The material and fabric is very high quality and although we haven ’ t worn them for a full season yet, I think these will hold up well!

With warm weather right around the corner, my son was really excited about the look of these DSG Boys ’ Swim Shorts, so we decided to give the `` Dye Effect Multi '' a try. As soon as the package arrived, he could n't wait to get them on. The colors look great in person — the dye effect is vibrant and modern. My son is 10 years old but on the smaller side( weighing around 65 lbs). I ordered the Size Medium, and they fit exactly as expected. It only took him about two minutes to swap his clothes for these trunks, so they are definitely easy for a kid to pull on and off! The most important thing for him is how they feel. He immediately mentioned that they are comfortable to wear and move around in. The fabric feels like it will hold up well to a full season of swimming and playing. These trunks are a win for both parents and kids. They are priced right, look sharp, and the sizing is spot- on. If you ’ re looking for a reliable pair of swim shorts that your child will actually want to wear, I have no problem recommending these.

The swim shorts have been a great pickup for my son. The fit is just right. Not too tight or baggy and the elastic waistband keeps them comfortable all day. The material is lightweight and dries quickly, which is perfect for going from the pool to running around outside. They ’ ve held up really well with frequent use and washing, with no fading or wear so far. My son also likes the look and says they ’ re easy to move in while swimming or playing. Overall, a reliable, comfortable pair of swim shorts that we ’ d definitely buy again.
